The whole point of doing a cold casting is so you buff out the aluminum powder that resides inside the resin to give it the appearance of metal. If you sprayed silver paint on the cold cast sections of the helmet (e.g. dome, cheeks) then you should have purchased just a resin casting and used rub n buff. Unless I'm seeing the picture wrong and the top section isn't painted.

I loooooove the frame you made for the keyhole screen, I gotta add that to my helmet interior.
You have done a great job!
If I may be so bold...As you have a painted silver finish, might I suggest you try Rub n' Buff on the silver painted areas.
Not just your helmet, but all the silver on your Jango.
For the uninitiated, Rub n' Buff (silver leaf color) is a wax polish with a silver color to it.
Coat it on, then buff off 99% of it & give it a day or two to harden.
One tube (about US$10 to $15) would probably do your whole suit.

1000 thanks for you words Capt Jono, is great to me received that . Yes I want try the Rub n' Buff, I gonna buy a tube later in a few months, for now I going to use my present work because is coming the Cruzer Codpiece and a Event in August 18 ,.
